The Getaway Bag

We travel a lot for work and always drag the kids, 2 1/2 and now a newborn, along for the ride. We’ve made do through the last few years with what we could find out there but after seeing the NR Getaway we tried to tell ourselves we were good but kept coming back to the cart. What pushed me over the finish checkout line was the leather accents. I could see the quality of the leather and when the bag arrived it didn’t disappoint.

To my surprise the hidden gems kept surfacing. The two buckles on the top hood are metal where they are stitched on. Rated stitches it seams (see what I did there?) even. The replaceable half on the bottom is plastic and can be easily sourced if/when it breaks and swapped out.

The compartments encourage smart organization. My only regret is not getting the packing sliders when I bought the bag. They would have been discounted at the time of initial checkout. That ship has sailed.

My advise? Get the bag (don’t skip out on the sidekick, I got that one right). And the packing sliders are a nice touch if you are smart.

NR makes a quality product for a fair price.

As a lifelong carry-on only traveler, having a kiddo meant that we would have to transition to becoming a full on multi-luggage cart family… or so I thought! Thanks to the getaway bag, we’ve been able to successfully travel through airports, trains, cars, etc with only our backpacks (getaway bag and duffel for mom and dad)! I absolutely love the compartmentalization for being able to access specific supplies for a kiddo’s given needs, and appreciate that the sidekick provides easy access to wipes and can be incorporated or slotted into the bag for easy access. The bottom waterproof compartment has been a life saver for storing items after a roadtrip blowout. Was hesitant to buy yet ANOTHER bag, but I so wish this was the first one that I purchased because it has been by far superior and functional!

We got this for a couple of longer trips with our 6 month old. It was hands down the best and most convenient bag we’ve ever used. It was so easy to pop into changing rooms with the side bag and made the flight seamless with accessing his toys and burp cloths etc. Could not be more in love with this bag!

We traveled to Japan and this made everything smoother! One bag, so organized and simple. Love it!

Although we haven’t actually used the Getaway Bag yet (baby is due in April) we’ve certainly examined it thoroughly and we’re very impressed with the design and workmanship. Will send another review once we’ve put it to the test!
